THE NEW SOUTH.

The Washington critic refers TO the
Report (part p OF the Bureau OF Statis-
tics in connection with its reference to
the remarkable progress OF industrial
enterprises in the ten States OF Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee and Kentucky. Facts and
statistics are grouped together, showing
greater comparative advance in nearly
all branches of productive industry,
especially in manufacturing and for
utilizing the vast deposits of iron and
coal in those States, than in any
other section of the country. The de-
tails, some Of which were published
in the DEMOCRAT a week or two since,
afford startling and encouraging revela-
ton of the exhaustless material resources
OF the Southern States. Capital and la
Dor have transformed wilderness places
into busy and profitable hives Of industry.
The magnificent water-powers and for
ests, hitherto largely unproductive, have
been improved and levied upon. the
sleeping mineral treasures have been
unearthed; railways have been built,
large and neglected plantations have
been cut up into small farms and culti-
waited by their owners; virgin and rich
soils have for the first time been turned
up to the sunshine and the rain and
respond in golden harvests for the
laborer, and towns and cities have sprung
up as if by magic. Capital is still pour
ing into these favored States and recuper-
ative energy goes on from conquering to
conquer. The experiment of free labor
is a success and the "New South" is in
industrial accord with the more frigid
North and the fertile West

for the purpose OF making room for
additional taxation OF the necessities
and comforts of life. 1t is, and has
been for years, pet scheme with the Re-
publican party to abolish the tax on
liquor and tobacco, that the reduction OF
revenue from those sources may form II
pretext for further tariff inhibition on
necessary articles Of everyday use. A
few recreant Democrats, headed by
Randall have joined with the Republi-
cans in this unholy and most infa-
nous scheme, and Speaker Carlisle, from
party standpoint at least, would have
made himself an abettor to an act OF
political treason if he had not exercised
his discretionary power as presiding
officer in warding off the consideration,
out OF order, of a measure SO utterly an
tagonistic to Democratic policy and Dem
ocratic principle.

DEMONSTRATED DISLOYALTY.

The Saints are crying before they are
hurt 1t would bother a Philadelphia
lawyer to explain why it is that the
elders, claiming to be loyal citizens, are
preparing their robes of sackcloth and
heaping up all their spare ashes against
the day OF tie final passage of the Tuck
er-Edmunds bill. Brethren OF the
Aaron and Melchesidec stripe, let us rea-
son together and ascertain if possible
what you are bowling about In the first
place, that you have surplus over and
above $50, 900 allowed to each and every
religious corporation, you will admit.
That this surplus, if used as the bill
provides, for educational purposes,
would greatly benefit your children
now growing up in ignorance, you
cannot truthfully deny. But why spend
time over the matter. You and all
know that by sharp practice OF under
ground practitioners, the immense church
property has been, by illegal conveyances
and false pretenses, wrongly secured
against the equitable provisions OF the
law. What is true OF the church funds
holds good of the emigration fund. The
provisions in the law relating to the pub
lie record of marriages are in substance
what may be found on the statute book
OF every State in the Union. Only Grim
inals and filthy free-lovers will object to
them. Law-abiding husbands and wives
can have no quarrel with SO much OF the
law as provides for obtaining the testi-
mony OF either party in judicial ex-
aminations. After the shameful per-
version of female suffrage to the
enslavement OF the class to whom it was
given, and who are willing victims and
tools OF the lustiul priests who counsel
and control them, the withdrawal of the
franchise becomes necessity and is in
accordance with the policy of all the
States and Territories with rare excep-
tions. In connection with the test oath
required as condition precedent to
voting, there cannot be the shadow of an
objection to it from any loyal; law
abiding man. Like Ithuriel's spear, it
transforms the SANITY law-breaker,
tricked out with SANITY DISCUSSES, into
the traitorous devil that he is. 1t
is the glory OF this requirement Of the
law that ii lays bare the utter
disloyalty OF the men who refuse
to take it and demonstrates the fact that
they are the sworn enemies of the
Nation. The men who cry out against
this test oath have, as general thing in
their secret haunts OF reasonable endow-

THE PeRILs OF DUELINe.

Lives Saved by Brass Buttons-The Most
Dangerous Distance-Close Calculation.
Many duelists owed their lives to the
brass buttons SO much worn in former
days. A case is also reported of a man
who picked up n horseshoe on his way to
a duel, and placed it inside of his cout
over his heart, for 'tluck," and the bullet
happening to strike there, the horseshoe
saved his life. Another man, a distin-
guished French officer, owed his life TO
having a 100 franc piece in his waistcoat
pocket, which recalls the story of the
Jester Perpignan, who declared that he
could never expect to escape death by
such a device, as he never had so much
us a five franc piece TO spend, much less
to carry in his pocket as a protection
against bullets.
The question of distance is an impor-
tant one in estimating the measure of
risk; and singular as it may appear, the
risk is not necessarily increased by short
ening the distance. 1t has been proved
that fifteen long PAGES is the most deadly
distance with the common dueling
pistols. The l,ext most dangerous
distance is said to be twelve feet;
while at eight PAGES the fire, when
a good aim has been taken, is almost
sure to be harmless. Mr.. Douglas cites
several instances where five or six shots
were Intellectually exchanged at short
distances, while in nearly all the reported
duels at fifteen PAGES one or the other of
the parties was disabled at the first fire.
The professional duelists of old times also
had a knack of so holding the pistol that
a ball would have to pass up the entire
length of the arm before it touched a
vital spot; and one of DEMONSTRATING
Fitzgerald''-used to protect himself still
further by bending his head over his
body, and thus reducing his height five
or six inches.
By much practice and observation,
dueling became a matter of such close
calculation that the degree of peril could
always be definitely known; and in many
cases the seconds, who were not so
bloodthirsty as their principals might be,
fell into the ways of either putting insult
tcient charges Of powder into the pistols
or leaving out the bullets. The harmless
termination Of many duels in which re-
peated shots were exchanged by proficient
marksmen can only be explained on the
theory of such interference .-Globe-D Dem

The sheriff once more came TO the front:

His hands and feet were quickly bound
and the rope placed around his neck. By
his own request no black cap was drawn
over his face. The sheriff stood with his
hand on the lever and the spectators held
their breath awaiting the final act.
Once more goodbye, the doomed

The sheriff accomodatingly did as re-
quested, and Ed shot through the trap.
He seemed to throw his whole soul into
that one effort, and went down with a
determined vigor that elected words of
praise from everyone in the crowd. He
hung there with a sort of stiff pride and
dignity as if conscious that he had done
his whole duty to please his audience.
And thus ended the first legal execution

Some months ago / mentioned in these
letters the ~graphophone. The remark
able little talking machine seems likely,
in short order, to revolutionize the pres
ent methods of correspondence. 1t is no
bigger than a mans hat, cost but a few
dollars, is SO simple that a child can op-
crate it, and with equal facility it records
speech, and retranslates into sound speech
that which has been recorded elsewhere.
The chief commercial value of the
g~raphophone will probably result from
its use for correspondence. When it is
generally employed, a business man, in
stead of writing his letters, or even die
tating them to a stenographer, will sit
down and talk to the little cylinder. He
can answer his letters as rapidly as he a
talk, using a cylinder for each letter, and
slipping it off before using another. He
will then mail these cylinders direct to
his correspondents. They will slip them
on to similar machines and listen to the
very voice and intonations of the speaker.
By the employment of a little gathering
received at the ear, the voice becomes
clear and the articulation distinct, with
out any of the vagueness and uncertainty
that charactize the u~tterances of its pro-
genitor, the old photograph. 1 accom-
panied Gen. Villas to look at the wonder
full machine the other day. He was de-
lighted, and said the cylinders could be
sent through the postoffice anywhere for
agent. He wanted to buy n immedi-
ately.
The graphophone is believed to have
much subordinate utility in its employ
ment as a toy, as a record of family and
friendly voices, and for reporting. The
announcement is here made for the first
time that congressional reporting will be
done next winter with the aid of this lit
tie marvel. AS it has no power of re-
vision, and never ''polishes off, a speech.
